Mobile phone etiquette

Americans believe there are unspoken rules about mobile phone etiquette
.Europeans and Asians have differing ideas, and etiquette is evolving across the globe
.For most though checking emails, sending text messages and making telephone calls while in the company of others are definite breeches of mobile manners.
.Texting during a date is also strictly forbidden.
.But most people questioned said they would not be offended if they received an electronic thank you, instead of a written note.
.Seventy five percent had no objections to anyone using laptops, netbooks and cell phones in the bathroom.
.A majority of people questioned today agreed that cell phones, laptops, netbooks and other electronic devices are part of daily life.
.Many also thought the demands of business mean people must stay connected, even if it involves taking a laptop on a holiday or answering a cell phone during a meal.
.But despite the need to be constantly connected and the general acceptance of the technology, people were more sensitive about technology abuses during holiday and religious activities.
.Nearly 90 percent of Americans think cell phone use is unacceptable during a religious service and 30 percent admitted they would be offended if they received an online gift wish.
.But more than half revealed that they intended to send an electronic greeting card, instead of a traditional one.
.And around the globe opinions are shaping and forming about the etiquette of using devices that are literally changing the way we relate to each other
.Devices which have in short space of time changed forever the way in which we communicate with each other but how we interact with each other
.Etiquette is a little used word today however it has a place in our lives and says a lot about us to each other
